sure fill it up again, id make sure its leaking from the cover for sure before just doing it. if you have break cleaner, spray down the whole area, it will dry it up and make it all dull looking, once it leaks the new wet spot is the issue.
it does happen time to time. its not super common tho.

dont use that crap, it wont work, and it will gum up the rest of the coolant system.

I know! Just have not done one of these before so just a little hesitant. I'm sure it will go ok.

its not that bad really. the balancer is the worst part of it.

What kind of RTV should I use?

iirc it was orange, what you want is one thats ok with oil contact.

Got the crank bolt loose this am before work. Now just have to get the puller and gasket kit.
What's involved with a case relearn? I have the battery un-hooked so is that good enough or do you need a tech 2? Wonder if I should just replace the crank sensor while I'm in there? AC Delco?

the crank learn is a coin toss, 50/50 shot you "need" one. if the cel comes on for it you need it done. no cel motor on.
if its running crappy, and no cel, get the crank learn done tho.
no idea what state your in, but theres locals all over the country with tuners that can do it, if lucky you can find one of us in your back yard. or hit up your local gas stations, dealership is the last place you call. thy will charge the most for this simple thing.
what sucks is it takes longer to set up the scanner then it does to do the crank learn. its as simple as flooring it in park. done.

I can get a tech 2 if that's what it needs. Or does it have to be a tuner. I'm in MN twin cities and south mostly

tech 2 is your new best friend then, it will do it.

Trying to anticipate issues. Do I have to take any oil pan bolts out to get the cover off? If so does the mount have to come off?

all pan to cover bolts should be in the clear. once the balancer is off you can see them better.
08-25-2016
Ok. That would be great

What's a good size of RTV bead to use on that gasket when I get there?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

thin smear, like 1 mm thick or so. that lower area likes to leak oil, why you need the rtv on both sides of the gasket, and along the old pan gasket.

Ok. Thanks again. Hoping to get into it around 5:30.

stuff some paper towels or rags in the oil pan and over the chain there and get to cleaning. that sure is blown out good.
